YOUR TICKET TO FESTIVAL EVENTS: THE PEGASUS PIN®

Attendance at many Kentucky Derby Festival Events is free with one key item: the colorful Pegasus Pin ® . This year, the pin harkens back to the 1980s and ’90s, with a geometric design and three color combinations: pink and teal, orange and teal, and green and teal.

Pegasus Pins are $7 each at many grocery stores, gas stations, banks and other retail outlets in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The pins are $10 apiece if purchased at the event itself. Packs of five are available for $30.

As a bonus, each Pegasus Pin ® envelope includes an offer from Great Clips, as well as coupons provided for locations such as Mike Linnig’s, Flying Axes, Rooties Sports Bar & Grill and the Kentucky State Fair.

Those who are lucky enough to have purchased one of the 18,000 Gold Pins will be entered into weekly prize drawings, with a grand prize of $20,000 to be announced May 12. To be eligible to win, register Gold Pins online at PegasusPins.com
